[Historical romance + scrolling comments + face-slapping + comeback]
Ji Xuezhen is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s household, a poor wretch whose mother died young and whose father pays her no attention.
She’s careful in everything she does, all in the hope of securing a good marriage and escaping the Prime Minister’s household.
After she successfully becomes engaged to the Heir of Jingnan, her legitimate younger sister, who is engaged to Prince Duan, demands that they switch fiancés.
Just as Ji Xuezhen is about to make a decision, lines of text float across above her head.
[Say yes! Your fiancé only sees you as a stand-in for the heroine. If you marry him, you’ll meet a terrible end!]
[He never saved your life. You’ve been deceived!]
…
Only then does she learn she’s just a minor side character in a storybook, destined to die young.
After her death, she won’t even have a gravestone.
Now that she knows the truth, she decides to fight for a way to survive!
Her stepmother schemes to frame her? She’ll get her back!
Her father uses her for his own ends? She’ll cut ties with him!
As for her scummy fiancé, she’ll let him and her younger sister ruin each other!
Before marrying Prince Duan, she learns that the cold, unfeeling man has a deceased beloved in his heart.
But so what?
She only sees Prince Duan as her superior and doesn’t expect him to love her.
But after one day, two days… and who knows how many more…
Why is Prince Duan looking at her in a more and more improper way?
Can you please stop mentioning repeatedly in every chapter that King Duan has Bai Yueguang, his sweetheart? If you don't want to have a CP, just briefly explain it. If you want the heroine to not fall in love and be clear-headed, you can't just rely on repeated reminders like this. If you say too much, it will be very annoying. You can let the heroine pursue a career and strengthen herself. Even if there is love, the heroine will still be independent and strong. She can still live a good life without love. Did King Duan do anything wrong? He was whipped repeatedly.
Are you just like this, hiding from others?
Come on, keep going.
